So the guys who actually PLAY the game don’t know what they’re talking about?

From BN article...
“Though not named directly by Housley on Friday, center Jack Eichel knows he was in the group that was called out. It wasn't so much his work ethic but his desire to freewheel and not do what he was asked.”

I’ve been wondering who are the names of players who aren’t playing the system.
While I’m sure he isn’t alone at all, like probably half the team is guilty, but more importantly, can you really hang the C on a guy who apparently isn’t fully listening to the coach?

Houston, we have a problem.

ROR bs leadership is getting very old, and apparently is undermining the young franchise player, if you believe all the rumors...but, maybe ROR is recognizing Jack is PART of the problem? After all, he suddenly picked up his game when Jack was injured...seemed to be an attempt to shine the problem spotlight on Eichel.

I don’t know, just connecting various dots.

I asked a question last night that largely went unanswered, save 1 by Fitz...

For those who do not want the Bills to move up to pick a QB higher, say pick 7 and up...

1) what do you believe the Bills record will be next season after using 12, 23, 53, 56, 65 and 96 in the 1st three rounds to presumptively select 4, 5 or 6 starters

2) what pick do you want the Bills to select a QB, and who do you think it is at that selection?

And I’ll throw this in as welll

3) what will you say their record will be if they do trade up to pick a QB in the top 7

4) if they were to move up into say 2, which QB do you think they select?


My answers:
1) 6-10
2) 22 Rudolf (I do like him)
3) 6-10
4) Rosen, but hoping they see The Light in Baker Mayfield!

My QB ranking
1-Mayfield, Brains, Accuracy, compete level, leadership
2-Rosen, gunslinger
3-Darnold largely because of his young age and growth potential
4-Rudolf
.
.
.
Allen/Jackson accuracy issues that will take a lot to fix, and Bills have seen that fail, and fail and fail in the recent past.

Allen is the Top QB on a majority of NFL teams boards. Skill set off the charts, strongest arm in draft, build to take the pounding of NFL defenses (sit a year under Tyrod). He just might go to Browns at 1......

If the rumored ask by Browns #1 is true, being the Bills 12, 22, 2019 1st and 2020 1st...
Then I would do it conditional on getting the Borownies 2019 & 2020 2nd back.
Using JimmyJohns Value Chart that results in an over payment of about 23% when the future pick values are discounted to present value by taking the associated value for 1 round later in current draft ... i.e 2019 1st is discounted to 1st pick in 2nd round of 2018 (which is probably still high, but need to start somewhere), computed as follows:

2018 12th = 1,200
2018 22nd = 780
2019 1st = 1,500
2020 1st = 750
—————
PV 4,230

Less
2019 2nd 290. From Browns back
2020 2nd. 145. From Browns back
—————
435

Net current value = 3,795
